Public service is a vital part of a democratic society spoke Arkansas Sixteenth Circuit Court Judge Lee Harrod to those waiting to be officially sworn into office.

Harrod told the newly elected and reelected officials that they have earned the right to be at the ceremony and not to lose sight of what it took to be elected and not to lose sight of their moral compass.

"When people get into politics I think they can lose sight of that and it's important not to lose sight of that", concluded Harrod as he congratulated all of them.

The ceremony took place January 1 at the Cleburne County Courthouse in Heber Springs.
